Dracula's America hidden VSF connection?

Specially for the VSF fans (and occult investigators/conspiracy theorists alike): a comparison between a NASA Mars picture and the image on the ceiling of Vlad's Dracula chapel as portrayed in that famous 1992 Coppola's documentary:

Was that in "Swords of Sorrow"? I have the complete series in cbr (along a ton of other titles I will never ever will have time to read), but never read it yet! Maybe just waiting for the planned movie with Gail Simone's script, you know...  lol

It certainly was. The graphic novel is a great buy.  8)

Ok Chaps, we've had some fun, but now this thread has drifted off topic. Can we reign it back to discussions about the forthcoming rules. ;)

From the interview:

"Unlike some other Weird West settings, there is no 'Steampunk' or super-science here- just the terrifying power of the supernatural and a good pair of shooting irons (preferably loaded with silver bullets)!"

Very grateful! The supernatural elements are more than enough interesting without dragging gears'n'googles into the mix.

Very much agree. I am a big fan of Deadlands but have always omitted the steampunk, as it seemed ludicrous

May I bring a certain musical inspiration to your attention, gentlemen?

So back to a rules question. :)

I see there are various forces in the book but is there a points system/some way for players to create 'somewhat balanced' (yes we all know the issues with such systems) figures/forces themselves?

It's fairly easy to create new ones in skirmish games but it helps if the author with all the play test knowledge etc provides guidance or a system for that.

You crazy kids!  ;)

@Mellis1644: There is indeed a 'somewhat balanced' system for creating a Posse- everything in the game has a dollar value, from weapons to gear to Skills. You and your opponent agree on a 'Dollar Limit' and build your force to that.

It makes sense to me!  ;)
